Actually, it is entire possible to create search criteria that cannot be gamed. That is what Google Research's various arms ought to be working on. But we all know if is far more profitable to have a manipulatable system.

Could you expand on this a bit more? I don't see any obvious way to develop non-manipulable search criteria, I was suspecting that there might even be an impossibility theorem about this (which would depend a lot on the exact formulation, though), and I'd like to know what you have in mind.
